Monica “Danger” Leon, a contestant that was vying for the love of Ray J on the first season of his showwas placed on a 48 hr psychiatric hold after endangering herself and her newborn daughter.  She is said to be suffering from postpartum depression and things really hit the fan after a fight with her baby’s father.  Gabriel Cannon, Nick Cannon’s brother, came to pick up the baby for Thanksgiving but did not invite Monica to the family dinner causing her to become distraught.  She shaved her head and started tweeting about commiting suicide.  She has also tweeted about being pregnant again.  I hope she gets the help that she needs.

In this video, Chris Brown rates some women in entertainment on Funk Master Flex’s radio show.  In the beginning of the video, Flex asks him to rate Cassie.  Chris gives her 10 at first then recants and gives her a 9.  He also says, “Diddy knows he got a bad lil shorty.”  WOW! Just put ‘em on blast Chris!  He also rates Kim Kardashian (7), Amber Rose ( 8 or 9), Keri Hilson (8 or 9),Trina ( 7 or 8), Beyonce (9), Amerie (6), and more.  Poor Chris!  As a convicted woman beater, I’m not sure that rating women is what he should be doing.  He really needs a better PR team.  Whatever happened to getting your interview questions prior to the interview?

January 9, 2010 marks the day that the book, Sugar, by Bernice L. McFadden celebrates its 10th anniversary.  The author is commemorating the anniversary by campaining to sell 10,ooo copies of the masterpiece by January 9.  Don’t get it twisted, she’s not doing this to line her pockets.  This push is designed to serve as a wake-up call to publishers who have marginalized the African-American experience into categories of gangs, violence and drug sales.  Sales of this book will help to convince publishers that there’s more than one type audience for African-American literature and that art should be appreciated for what it is.  Visit the author’s blog for more information on Sugar’s 10th anniversary [Author's blog].

Actress Kimberly Elise supports the campaign

From Amazon.com:

Bernice L. McFadden’s first novel begins with the brief, poetic description of a crime so startling that the reader is helplessly drawn in, as if a bright red door stood ajar on a bleak and forbidding house. Pearl Taylor’s daughter, Jude, has been found murdered and mutilated near a field at the edge of town. “The murder had white man written all over it,” writes McFadden. “But no one would say it above a whisper. It was 1940. It was Bigelow, Arkansas. It was a black child. Need any more be said?” In the years that follow, Pearl catches sight of Jude in so many strangers that when Sugar Lacey comes to town and sets up her unwholesome “business” in the house next door, she doesn’t know whether to believe what she sees in Sugar’s face: a striking similarity to Jude, dead 15 years. In her sedate but supple prose–rising at times to a light, unforced lyricism in the description of landscape or character–the author perfectly renders the closed and protective society of a small Southern town, the superstitions, gossip, and prying. Although the men of Bigelow are happy enough to have Sugar around, the women do their best to drive her off. Only Pearl is drawn to Sugar, managing to look beyond the rumors surrounding her new neighbor, whose dismal life, she tells Pearl, “had no crossroads.” Eventually Pearl shows Sugar the ballerina-topped jewelry box in which she keeps snapshots of her dead daughter.

Sugar lifted the lid and saw herself staring back at her. She jerked as if struck. Her hands were shaking as she lifted the first of many pictures from the box. Jude rolling in the grass, Jude swimming in the lake, Jude sleeping, Jude laughing. Sugar’s head was swimming. If someone had brought these pictures to her and said, ‘Here you are in the life you can’t recall,’ she would have believed every word of it and ignored the slight differences that remained between Jude and herself. Jude’s smaller nose and thinner lips, her rounder eyes and fuller brow. But the smile was the same; sure and solid. Sugar knew that smile, it was her own.

Slowly, the secret connections between Jude and Sugar unfold against a backdrop of suspense and the return of violence. This is an ambitious and feeling debut from a promising writer.

The latest celebrities to be subjectled to fanatical stalkers are Rachel True (The Craft, Half-n-Half) and Ashanti.  Rachel True’s stalker, Elenora Redmon, showed up at her home with a large sex toy and claimed that Rachel called her there “psychically.”  She also has said that she would like to “f**k Rachel with a cobra.” Rachel was granted a temporary restraining order against Redmon and the stalker is currently in jail on $150,000 bail because of the sex toy incident.

Ashanti’s stalker was not only obsessed with her but also with her sister and mom.  An Indiana man named, Devar Hurd, was arrested for sending over 30 explicit text messages to Ashanti’s mother about how he pleasures himself while thinking about the three women. 

The barrage of filth allegedly began in May, when Hurd is charged with first “sexting” Ashanti’s mother, Tina Douglas, of Glen Cove LI.

“Hey Tina baby, how u doing sexy,” Hurd, 31, text messaged Tina Douglas’ cell phone.

“Tell Shani I’m coming straight home from work to put in sum overtime. U know how I do, LOL.”

The next day, he texted over to the mom a picture of his exposed genitals, and this message: “Here’s a pic I had laying around for the ladies in sum of my birthday suit lol.”

It went quickly downhill from there, according to prosecutors, who have offered Hurd a one-year sentence in exchange for a guilty plea.

In just his third text — and between references to the superstar’s upcoming appearances, and mentions of such Ashanti hits as “Girlfriend” and “So Over You” — Hurd allegedly zips the mom a picture of a car belonging to her 29-year-old singer-actress daughter.

“Shani baby I saw U parked yesterday when I showed up to the Wiz,” he allegedly says in that text, from June, going on to graphically describe masturbating to a video of one of the star’s concert performances.

Cops say he ended that text by typing — perhaps with just one thumb — “Oh ashanti ashanti ashanti, yes baby woooo lol.”

The texts reference the star’s appearances and rehearsals, and also describe fantasies about her sister, Kenashia Douglas, and about group sex with the star and her mother and sister.

OK! Magazine released pictures of Rihanna’s new tattoo which is written backwards.  When she looks in the mirror, she will always see, “Never a failure Always a lesson.” It seems innocent enough.  Well, according to those in the know, satanists must learn to read and write backwards as part of their teachings.  Aleister Crowley, the guru of modern satanism (the guy that Jay-Z loves to quote) was a master of these teachings.

One of the first signs of Satanism is writing backwards. Aleister Crowley, the guru of modern Satanism (and mentor of many rock groups) taught in his magick handbook, Magick in Theory and Practice, for the occultist, “. . . let him learn to write backwards. . .”

“. . .train himself to think BACKWARDS by external means, as set forth here following.
(a) Let him learn to write BACKWARDS. . .
(b) Let him learn to walk BACKWARDS. . .
(c) Let him. . . listen to phonograph records REVERSED
(d) Let him practice speaking BACKWARDS. . .
(e) Let him learn to read BACKWARDS. . .”
(Crowley, Aleister. Magick: Liber ABA, book four, 1994 Ordo Templi Orientis ediiton, p. 639)

But hey, it could all be an innocent way of encouraging herself, right?

Vevo.com, a newmusic video website held a launch party at the Skylight Studio in NYC and stars packed the place.  VEVO allows you to find a watch thousands of videos by various artists.  I’m trying to figure out how this is different from LAUNCH, Yahoo’s video site.

I like how Rihanna wore her gold, spiky Christian Louboutins again.  It’s nice to see famous people act like us regular folks. 

I just wish she would leave the devil stuff alone.  It sure didn’t help her cd sales because Adam Lambert topped her on the charts and Susan Boyle eclipsed both of them. The devil is a LIAR!
